NEW BURST:

NEW ITEMS
There are three new items in the Painful Memories pack will help you with kills, cash flow and protection:

Much more than an adding machine, the Calculator turns your assists into kill stats and pads your kill stats by earning one kill for every two assists that you tally.
Earn money for kills by your teammates with the Betting Slip. Each time one of your teammates logs a successful kill you will add funds to your coffers.
The Hip Flask protects you from sniper fire and stops all effects of the Hangover Burst. Each time you spawn you'll be protected from a single round from an enemy's sniper rifle.
